The open world of **Elden Ring ** is large - larger than the worlds of every other FromSoftware RPG to date. As players steer their Tarnished characters across the continent known as the Lands Between, they can visit beautiful forests, mist-veiled lakes, golden plateaus, ice-swept mountaintops, underground cities, and hell-scapes of fungal rot. The Lands Between, however, is just one continent upon a larger planet. This begs the question; what exactly are the Lands Between... betw

Dark Souls II takes place ages after the events of the first game, with the Bearer of the Curse traveling through Drangleic and being tasked with defeating the four Old Ones and obtaining their Great Souls. Like its predecessor and sequel, the remastered version, Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin , is available on PS4, XBO, and

Though it's often cited as the trilogy's black sheep by some hardcore fanbases, Dark Souls II was still widely acclaimed in its own right. The change in creative direction regarding level design and combat mechanics was admittedly seen as jarring to some, but praises went to its grander overworld scope and the creativity in customizing character classes/bui

The Celebrant Skull can be found on a corpse in Altus Plateau, but all other variants must be farmed from the Celebrant enemies that wield them at the Windmill Village.

Rykard fed himself to the Elder Serpent that lived inside the volcanic Mt. Gelmir. This allowed them to merge into one being, with Rykard’s face embedded in the giant snake’s body .

Many of his soldiers were troubled by Rykard’s growing dishonor and sought to use the Serpent-Hunter weapon to eliminate their former master, but all failed. The Tarnished must step in and defeat Rykard before he can devour the very g

Being able to interact with the iconic locations and historical figures of Paris during the 1700s was a technical triumph then and while SteelRising didn't quite go in the same depth, it was able to use the technology of next-gen consoles to bring the city and the people back to life. Unity's combat may not be its biggest draw, but the historical world certainly will be for those looking for more French-based landscapes to expl

Queen Marika the Eternal, founder and destroyer of the Golden Order, shattered the Elden Ring using a "s tone hammer made in the lands of the Numen, outside the Lands Between. " __ The armor set of the Black Knife Assassins, cutthroats who murdered Godwyn the Golden and catalyzed the Shattering, describes the assassins as " all women, and rumored to be Numen who had close ties with Marika herself. " Aside from hinting at Marika's active role in the murder of her own son, these weapon/armor descriptions imply that Marika herself was one of the Numen, and first came to the Lands Between from the country (or world) where the Numen dwelled. There are no clues in the story or endings of **Elden Ring ** __ about what the Lands of the Numen look like or what culture the Numen possess. If Queen Marika and her Black Knife cohorts are typical of their people, though, the Numen seem to be very ambitious and willing to catastrophically meddle in the affairs of both humans and g

The sixth Archstone appears in Demon’s Souls as a broken artifact that cannot be used. In Soul Arts, a section is dedicated to art that imagines what the world of the Northern Limit and sixth Archstone could look like-from different territories, creatures, and battles, and what their backstories might ent

This humiliation and lack of power from the Golden Lineage led Godrick to pursue grafting to make up for his lack of strength. He began abducting Tarnished warriors and attaching their body parts to himself and his soldiers.

With a new look at the famous city and interesting robotic forces blocking Nillin's way, the game attempted to try and bring in a fresh look on a familiar location while adding some fun combos and weapons to experiment with that some may want to enjoy. Hopefully SteelRising will be more fondly remembered than this game, but those with a Steam account can unearth what is now regarded as a hidden
